International Golden Plover Survey 11–12 October 2014
On 11-12 October 2014 (WeBS Count weekend) there will be a coordinated
census of Eurasian Golden Plovers across Europe, repeating comparable surveys
carried out in 2008 and 2003. The majority of Golden Plovers are concentrated
in northwest Europe in October making it the best time to assess the status of
the population. As in 2008, the BTO will be collating all counts of Golden
Plover within the framework of an International Wader Study Group project.
For the UK, Golden Plover numbers provided through standard WeBS Core
Counts will represent the key source of data in combination with records
provided through BirdTrack. Anyone can contribute by submitting counts
of Golden Plover (and Lapwing) into BirdTrack (www.birdtrack.net) over that weekend.
